Qwyksilver Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Argh, my friend I was supposed to go with bagged on me... Anyone driving from anywhere near Western NY??? With the price of gas now, it might be cheaper to actually fly. Just checked kayak and there are quite a lot of flights out of Buffalo, non-stop for under $300. Couple were in the $250 range. $300 ticket/$3.20 per gal for gas = 93.75 gal of gas for the price of a plan ticket. Presume 30 mpg vehicle = 2812 mi. Buffalo - Dallas, round trip = 2742 mi. Add in tolls, it's cheaper to fly. Definitely cheaper if you need to stop for a hotel, or for food. Not to mention 3 hours of travel vs 21.

Dragon Snack Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Hmm, I didn't check Buffalo, but Rochester was more in the $400+ range for a flight. I figured $350-400 to drive (depending on if we stopped). Split 2 ways, $200 still works out better than a flight (plus no hassles with bags o' pewter). I'm not afraid of the drive. I've schlepped from Rocha-cha to Indy for Gen Con the past 3 years by myself... (edit: the closest to $250 I found was $274, which is actually $314 after fees and such) Edited April 17, 2008 by Dragon Snack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pae Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I'm going, but I'm still waiting on Anne to give me my plane ticket. I think she'd be more likely to get me one, but I'm not holding my breath on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All-Terrain Monkey Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Maybe I can get her to give me a quick piggy back ride in lieu of vehicular transport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dks Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Maybe I can get her to give me a quick piggy back ride in lieu of vehicular transport. You should secretly train her dog to carry passengers. And to paint. And to do your taxes (well, next year's, at least). Without such skills, he clearly isn't the awesome pet that Anne makes him out to be.

Castlebuilder Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I'm going to be there. I'm not going to be kicking myself for four days for missing another Reapercon. Four days? You've been whining about missing last year for that last 335 days! I'm looking forward to you being there so for the next year all I have to hear is you talking about how cool ReaperCon was........

Derek well if a elephant can paint pictures of elephants, why can't a dog paint minis!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
